Empty rooms stand in mourning
Missing photos on the wall leave pale scars
No familiar face to greet me when I come in
No frown when I wake up too late
An entire lifetime has faded away
Leaving behind fresh paint and naked emotions

Silence never drew tears before
Familiar smells fade away slowly
Memories stand as monuments
And each time I sob I remember
From three one must move on
Pulled along by only will and wind

Empty shelves lose their meaning
Missing faces leave a hole in my heart
No family to hold my hand now
Even if I never realized they were before
An entire life has broken away
Leaving behind new fears and uncertainty

I know I said I would stop posting here, but I feel like I need to get some things out in order to move on with my life. My grandfather passed away on April 14th, leaving me alone, homeless, and very afraid. My family has been tremendously not supportive and have left me to depend on the kindness of my friends to find a place to live. I had to quite my job of two and a half years. And I will be having to leave my home since childhood, and leave the area I've grown up in so that my mother and uncle can sell my grandparent's house. I still live here, in a house stripped to it's core, with the lingering memory of finding my grandfather's dead body to keep me company.

Things have not been pleasant.

this poem is amazing, lots of emotion in it. and I'm sorry to hear about the suckiness of life. (that sounds fake, but it isn't.) I hope things get better for you.

"hold on, wait around, all you've got can take you there
this is my life, my ride, let me glow, let me glow bright
tears were meant for rainy days, so let's stay and play
it's gonna be the greatest day that i've ever know."
